Final Report Abstract

The overall goal of AIPHES was the automatic information preparation from heterogeneous sources which fits in the overarching objective of the participating institutions: foster future and digital technologies to facilitate novel ways of communicating, collaborating and optimizing processes. In particular, AIPHES aimed at multi-document summarization (MDS) from heterogeneous sources, i.e., the development of automated methods for condensing multiple documents of heterogeneous nature and sources into a coherent, informative, and homogeneous summary. MDS from heterogeneous sources is a task that requires expertise from multiple disciplines. Therefore, we brought together researchers from computational linguistics, natural language processing, machine learning, information management, and algorithmics, who not only work on foundational and challenging problems in their respective domains, but also joined forces across disciplines to achieve this common goal. To facilitate research across areas, we created cross-disciplinary working groups (AGs) and special interest groups (SIGs) to create shared resources and to enable PhD students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills. In particular, as there did not exist a German corpus for the MDS task, all research areas contributed to corpus collection and annotation. The qualification concept within the RTG included a collaboration across disciplines and locations, intensive international networking, scientific consultation of at least two PhD advisors and of one international co-advisor for each doctoral project, and the responsible participation of excellent post-doctoral researchers in doctoral supervision and training jointly with experienced advisors. The graduate program formed a central location for the qualification of young researchers in this highly demanded academic field in the Rhine-Main-Neckar region.
